its pretty bad when my own RSS reader classifies my personal blog as a ‘dinosaur’ feed. i blame twitter. so what prompts me to go all jurassic park and resurrect this bitch from the dead? shit ass products and customer service.
i’m shot calling two suckers today.
1. Belkin. You suck and caused me serious heart palpitations today. I’ve been looking to use up an eight month old Future Shop gift card and decided to do so on a car charger/FM transmitter for my new iPhone 3GS. Selection at at FS was weak so I ended up with a Belkin Tunecast. I’m a tech geek so as

its been a while since i’ve spent any money on myself and i’ve got this itch to spend some money. i’ve been obsessing over a few items lately but as is par for the course, the items i’m obsessing over are way out of my price range and also can’t be bought easily.
first up and most dearly wanted… Julius leather jacket

Rant Alert
This social media crap is really getting out of hand. Twitter especially. Its like a bunch of girls at a pajama party telling each other how great they look. Seriously, somebody writes a blog post, then auto-tweets it and then a bunch of their friends retweet it. Think about that. Republishing a piece of auto-generated content when said content is only a notification. Bring that out to the real world. That’s like getting a text that your parking meter’s about to expire and then your friends all tell their friends that your parking meter’s about to expire. What the fuck!
Write some real goddamn content and tell me something interesting or don’t waste my time.
Oh and big deal if you have a gajillion followers. You didn’t even have to spend any cognitive energy to make that happen. Its like those people who collect curios. Their house is just a giant clusterfuck of knick knacks that you can’t do anything without knocking one over. I got one word for you…’edit’.

Its almost the year of the Ox and as you can see Ox is letting it get to his head. Elbowing his way in front of Jeero, asserting his dominance. I can tell already that its going to be rough year with him and his sense of entitlement. But at least our new puppy has him on his toes now fearing for his life.

one of the movies i checked out over the holidays and it kicked much ass. in fact it probably kicked the most ass of any movie i watched last year. always been a danny boyle fan but this time he’s got a great, dare i say inspirational, script to work with.

ha. might as well live up to my moniker and start off the year all bitter. although i have nothing to be bitter about. its not like i made a resolution to be more or less bitter. in fact i made no resolutions at all. why? because i don’t believe improving yourself should be limited to once a year. it should be an ongoing process.
pretty long winded start to this post huh? well get used to it. since i’ve been using twitter, its been taking up the more frequent posts leaving me with less to say here. so i think i’m going to try to write more lengthy and hopefully more insightful posts here in exchange for reduced frequency.
i have to say that after keeping this little blogging thing going for a long while, i have much respect for people that can keep up the dialogue. it requires a level of commitment that is commendable. even if all you’re writing about is what you had for breakfast and an indepth examination of the end result of that meal’s travels through your digestive system. (that was a round about metaphor for shit in case you missed it).
but back to writing and motivation. what motivates people to write? excess creativity? idle hands? dreams of financial windfalls? creation of a false persona? self-brand management? something else?
…
screw it. i had cheerios for breakfast…

i realize its been a while since i’ve done any movie reviews so here’s the short versions:
quantum of solace:
good but i was expecting more, too bad about that Aston Martin though…
kung fu panda:
a few good laughs but missing the heart that pixar movies have.
the bank job:
neat little heist flick and the role suits jason statham well.
maid of honour (saw it on the plane):
gag

i forgot about this pair of jeans that just wasn’t meant to be that i found in Japan. we were wandering around in Laforet and found the Nudie store where i found these. a recent post on slamxhype reminded me about them. they were part of the nudie lab collection and were selvedge, hand distressed with a tinted wash. they were pretty hot but also worked out to about $750! eek.
i am still looking for a pair of thin finn’s though. i think i need a pair that are in a lighter distressed wash. i’ve gotten lots of black and uber-dark denims lately so i need some balance. when i was in uniqlo buying the T-000’s in black, there was a sale on (buy 2 get the second half off) i hesitated cause i wasn’t sure how they would break in and now i’m regretting it because they fit awesome now and the other pair i wanted was just the wash i’m looking for now. boohoo. woe is me.
